Tony Yousfi heads up one of Las Vegas’ most important economic engines at one of the city’s largest resorts. As chief sales officer for The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, he oversees group and convention sales for a property that remains one of the city’s most in-demand gathering spaces.

Yousfi is part of a leadership team at The Venetian, helping oversee a property undergoing a multiyear renovation. The resort’s owner, Apollo Global Management, Inc., is investing $1.5 billion into the Strip property. Roughly $188 million was spent on upgrades at The Venetian Convention and Expo Center, designed to meet evolving expectations from planners who want more flexibility, better technology and spaces that can adapt to fast-changing event needs.
